Akira Toriyama's official colors of Gohan in his Great Saiyaman costume show him as having orange-colored Bandana, which is exact same color as Pan's in DBGT, whom he also designed. I hope official media one day clarifies on this because it's something that many people may have missed due to Gohan's bandana being white in the Z Anime Adaptation.
I think this is a nice subtle touch that shows us how Pan loves her parents even when they're doing silly stuff on the side (as Videl was still Great Saiyaman #2 in GT too once in a while).

I don't think so. Gohan's bandana is white in the anime, and the Full color edition manga (with Gohan's orange bandana) was edited after GT.

Toriyama sometimes colored some pages and illustrations.
I'm sure the bandana was orange at some point before GT.

Sorry for my mistake. However, I am not sure about is the same bandana.
Toriyama designed GT Pan but I am not sure if he decided her outfit colors. If so, he may decide orange bandana in both cases only because he likes orange bandanas more.
For example, Tapion's sword looks similar to Future Trunks sword, and in Tapion film, Tapion gave his sword to Trunks but is unclear is the same word, specually because Toriyama was character designer but plot writter is Takao Koyama. Toriyama may have designed both swords in a similar way because was his style. Same with both bandanas. I think the only way to know that is if he said something about it in a guide or interview.

I like it. This is my "head canon" now because it just fits perfectly.
Orange bandana in the manga makes more sense because helmet was orange too.

Yeah, it's all Toriyama. I love Trunks (GT) desing.

Oh, interesting pic, thank you for sharing! Could you tell me the source? I remember seeing Toriyama's design of GT characters in a guide, but no colors at all. I am surprised about Goku's alternative outfit

To speak the truth, I just found it by quickly searching "Toriyama GT Sketches" on Google Images, though the GT Perfect Files includes some extra colored artworks drawn by Toriyama himself with some of the planets they later visit in the initial arc, Pan's bandana is colored orange in those too.
